The future of the forest products industry isn’t just being discussed — it’s being designed. At TAPPICon® 2026, April 26–29 in Columbus, Ohio, Technical Tuesday offers a unique platform for scientists, engineers, and innovators to showcase the ideas and breakthroughs that will shape tomorrow’s mills, products, and technologies.

 

Under the powerful theme “Uniting the Industry. Powering the Future.”, TAPPICon brings together professionals from every corner of the forest products community to collaborate, share, and advance the innovations driving lasting impact.

 

The Call for Speakers is open, and TAPPI is seeking presentations that dig deep into research, development, and technical solutions. Whether you’ve built a data-driven case study, piloted new technologies, or advanced the science of papermaking, packaging, or sustainability, this is your chance to share it with an international audience. Abstracts are due by October 20, 2025.

 

TAPPICon’s reimagined format introduces three distinct days designed for sharper focus and deeper engagement:

From process engineering to advanced diagnostics, Technical Tuesday is all about technical rigor with real-world impact. Presenters are encouraged to bring forward innovative research, emerging technologies, and evidence-based best practices that address today’s challenges and open doors to new opportunities.

 

Technical Tuesday will highlight expertise from TAPPI’s Advanced Renewable Materials, Engineering, Paper & Board, Coating, Printing & Surface Enhancement, Tissue, Pulp Manufacture, and Nonwovens Divisions, ensuring a cross-disciplinary view of where the industry is headed.

 

 

This is more than a speaking opportunity — it’s your chance to influence the technical direction of the forest products industry. Submit your abstract through TAPPI’s Speaker Management System by October 20, 2025 and and take your place among global innovators at TAPPICon 2026.
